RedTiger Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Glad to hear that its almost ready. I wish the FSX version could be released at the same time. I'm thinking about using this as an excuse to buy FSX. :music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaNk0 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 4 years? Did they build the plane or what? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) From scratch. Im certain it comes with its own AFM as well. Dont quote me on that, but its supposed to be the most realistic aircraft ever produced for a flight simulator. Know what I just noticed? You buy the Hornet, you get REX as well. Yeah I think Im gonna get the hornet to just save money on REX! Edited November 6, 2008 by hitman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Im gonna get the hornet to just save money on REX! What's REX? BTW, I have heard the same about the realism level. No blowing up stuff, but I was at least happy that you could drop bombs and bug/lock aerial targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 From what I get, the FSX version wont be available until late next year...september-november. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah, it sucks. I don't want to buy FS9. I don't really want to buy FSX either. ;) However the prospect of getting to fly around the world in a Super Bug, taking off from San Antonio International is just too freaking cool to pass up. :pilotfly: And that REX stuff is probably worth the purchase price alone.

badaboom Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hi Hitman,AlthoUgh I wish it were true,I don't see anything on the VRS site that advertises "The F/A-18E" and "REX" together for purchase for one price.And if I'm not mistaken REX is only for FSX. I'm really interested to see what type of carrier opps will be included with this,if any. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah that was my mistake...I saw the ad on the side that says get rex with the f-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaboom Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 God how I wish it was true!!!!!!!!!! I really don't like the stock enviorment in FSX,just seems very sterile and lifeless as is out of the box.I actually like the stock enviorment in FS9 more than FSX.

badaboom Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Good news!!! VRS have itegrated Carrier Ops in the package,but you will still need a add-on carrier to make it work,VRS suggest useing The AlphaSim payware "USS Enterprise" http://www.alphasim3.com/store/product_info.php?currency=USD&cPath=24&products_id=138 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badaboom Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 *****This is NOT your Accel. Hornet!!!!***** This baby is incredible!!!! I'm really not exaggerating when I tell you THIS THING IS THE REAL DEAL!!!!!!!! How about this VC in 6dof!!! The VC is a true work of art! with TRK-IR4 6DOF the immersion is through the roof!! you really won't believe you're flying in a sim that's 5yrs old. I only have a few hrs in her but the flight model feels very real,it feels like you are propelling a large piece of steel through the sky!!
